It’s your internet … for now

Net neutrality is at stake. Please call and/or write to your representatives in Washington and tell them how important your internet access is to you. Tell them how unfair it would be for the FCC to allow the big telecommunications companies to monopolize the internet, set rates to suit themselves, offer high speed to big businesses who can pay while slowing access to the underlings who can’t pay — and who will have no recourse because most areas in the US are served by only one internet service provider.

The way I read the EFF’s explanation is a pretty good chronicling of how various government agencies ( and congress ) have misdiagnosed a problem that does not yet exist as well as the solution if it ever does.

The problem doesn’t yet exist, and we don’t want it to. We’ve plenty of examples of what happens when you loosen the reins on large corporations. Once they get control, no one has enough money to rein them in again.
